Steve Jobs flick won’t be full biography, says screenwriter Aaron Sorkin | Academy award winning screenwriter Aaron Sorkin has revealed that
his movie on Steve Jobs won’t likely cover the Apple co-founder’s entire life.
Sorkin, the mastermind writer of ‘The West Wing’ and ‘The Social Network’, plans
to adapt Walter Issacson’s biography of Jobs into a film. “I am at the earliest
possible stage with ‘Steve Jobs.’ What I will do is go through a long period that
will not look to a casual observer like writing,” ABC News quoted Sorkin as saying
during an interview at the All Things D conference. Sorkin also likened writing
about Jobs to writing about the Beatles. “To be honest with you, one of the hesitations
I had was that this was a little like writing about The Beatles. “There are so
many people out there that know him and revere him; I saw a minefield of disappointment.
“Hopefully, when I’m done with my research I’ll be in the same ballpark as some
of the folks in here in terms of their knowledge about Jobs,” he said. Sorkin
also discussed the challenges of turning a biography into a movie and said the
movie won’t likely cover Jobs’ entire life. “When biographies are turned into
movies it is hard to shake the cradle to grave. I probably instead will identify
the point of friction that appeals to me and dramatize that,” Sorkin said.
